Yeah come on people, let's all make ourselves feel better by helping to get somebody fired.
If someone cant do their job satisfactorily ( and the number of us who complain about Richardson and Castle is a lot) then they should be fired.
I feel strongly about Frew McMillan on Eurosport, but that's personal. (He was an odious, stuck up, rude snob who I had the pleasure of meeting a couple of times ) but he shouldn't be fired. I grudgingly admit his commentaries aren't bad. I just don't want to listen to him.

Yeah let's do nothing and let him get away with his amateur interviews year after year which make the BBC look crap too. Let's apply your logic to all things in life and see how long society lasts with idiotic and incompetent people in jobs they should not be in :rolleyes:. It's ok though lets let them off as we wouldn't want them to lose their job .
Oh, thanks. Also, what is the hairdryer treatment?
Basically when Fergie was unhappy with a player's performance he would often yell at them in an attempt to get them to up their game either for the second half or the next match. I think it was Mark Hughes who said that after a blast from Fergie, your hair would end up behind your head, hence the 'hairdryer treatment'. The interviewer was basically asking if Ivan Lendl was going to shout at Andy after that performance.
Since you post on this 'tinpot' forum as well, I can only assume you are a 'buffoon' along with the rest of us? :eek:
Hey, I aspire to be a hopeless as a 'buffoon'... I appear to be stuck on 'numpty' and haven't quite got the necessary village idiot badge to progress further :cool:

That's virtually all the MPs sacked then on the spot :cool:
Look how long the BBC allowed that old duffer, Maskell to pollute the airwaves ("Oh, I Say" was about the extent of his insight into matches) or Bill Threlfall so the idea they would bow to audience feedback and bin Castle for instance is a forlorn hope.
Virginia Wade is on my commentary shit-list as well. If she wasn`t already before the Billie-Jean doco last night on BBC4 she bloody would`ve been after. Neck like an elephant`s ball-sack as well.
A few new voices on the BBC this year too. Laura Robson and Marion Bartoli making their BBC debut i believe.
I know the BBC used Anabel Croft at Eastbourne, have they used her before ? Not sure.
I am guessing the pecking order is still
Castle
Petchey
The rest
Annabel is doing the Wimbledon live coverage on line and in the grounds with Game set and Mats. Far nicer than being stuck in a commentary box.
She seems quite a carpetbagger - Eurosport, Sky, the BBC and Wimbledon employ her. BT of course employ that other former British No 1 - but Annabel might try and muscle in there too.:D

Maybe so, for her, but for the viewer it means we're stuck with the usual inane bunch on TV.

Calling Gary Richardson!

Is Petchey that high up at the BBC, It always seems to me he is lower down the Pecking order.
Does the women's final every year plus at least one Murray game so i would certainly say number 2
I do believe it is and she got a BBC2 game too

She's my favourite tennis commentator by far.

That's a bit harsh, there are many good commentators on BBC Wimbledon coverage
Lindsay Davenport, Tracy Austin, Sam Smith, Simon Reed, Chris Bradnam, David Mercer, Nick Mullins, Barry Davies....the list goes on
Can't stand the sound of them. And Bradnam??? You must be joking. He's one of the absolute worst.
